T`hank you. My guess was not based on timing but on the idea of a
constant versus computed function. And yes, the timing will vary on
any multitasking OS depending on load. I was just getting a crude
timing.

1p1 calls no functions so there is nothing to memoize.
o.y is not a good candidate for memoization as the
time and space for a look-up have to compete against
a straightforward multiplication.
Anyway it is not prudent to draw conclusions from
timing a single execution of a trivial expression.

In J, is 1p1 currently memoized? What about o.1?
6!:2 '1p1'
0.000195007
6!:2 'o.1'
6.10352e_5
I guess not in the later case.
